Mr.. Gill-What do you think of tho provision for
enabling the landlord to transform tenant into q
caretaler without tho process of evictionf
Mr.. ParnelI.-By Baron Deasy's act Of 1860, the
ancient common law rights of the tenants were
taken away and tho law of eviction strictly defined
The tenants would have been much better OH II
they had retained their old rights under the COM
mon law. This bin proposes to deprive the tenant
of the compensation which was given. hun nnder
Baron Deasy's act in exchange for his ancient
rights, and leaves him unprotected and naked. For
example, suppose tenant becomes bankrupt in
order to get his rent reduced, and suppose parti-
san County Conrt Judge decides against him he
will be overwhelmed with law costs and the land
lord can deprive him of his title and his tenant
right by simply sending him registered letter con-
tanning tho decree of ejectment This Is plan for
making eviction inexpensive and easy land deprv-
ing it Of those incidents which call the worlds at
tention 30 landlord iniquity. No more ingenious
method of dcterrlng tenants from applying for re-
ductions of rent could be devised
Mr. Gill-DO you wish TO say anything further 7
Mr.. Parnell-Sinply to thank again FROM the
bottom of my heart the people of America for their
noble sympathy and support, which are invaluable
to US in the trying and perilous crisis through
